This group contains acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen as well as herbal and nutraceutical products (fish oil, joint supplements). Many of these products are tasty to pets, and some can be life threatening if ingested.

4. Household Products - There were nearly 17,000 calls to the APCC about household products in 2013.

Household toxins can range from fire logs to cleaning products. Some items can be corrosive, while others can cause obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract requiring surgical intervention.

5. People Food - Human foods can be appealing to many pets, especially dogs, but may also be toxic in some cases.

Dogs can get themselves into serious trouble by ingesting onions/garlic, grapes/raisins and xylitol, a sugar substitute which can be life-threatening for animals.

Over-the-counter and prescription veterinary products are included in this group. Flavored tablets make it easy to give your pet pain or joint medication, but it also makes it more likely for them to ingest the entire bottle if given the chance.

7. Chocolate - An average of 26 calls a day were received last year.

Too much chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, high heart rate and seizures.

8. Rodenticides - Approximately 5.5 percent of calls to the APCC in 2013 were related to baits.

When putting out baits to kill mice and rats, never underestimate the resourcefulness of your pet. Depending on the type of rodenticide, ingestion can cause internal bleeding, kidney failure or seizures.

9. Plants - More than 9,000 cases in 2013 were pet parents calling about their animals eating plants.

This is one category that cats lead dogs in the number of exposures. Lilies can cause kidney failure and death in cats.

10. Lawn and Garden Products - The APCC received over 5,000 calls in 2013 relating lawn and garden products.

Fertilizers, which can be made of dried blood, poultry manure and bone meal, are very attractive to pets. These can also be toxic to pets.
